Regulating Childhood Online: New Privacy and Safety Models from Brazil and the U.S. (Video)

As governments around the world strengthen protections for children online, Brazil’s “Digital ECA” (Estatuto Digital da Criança e do Adolescente) represents a major step forward in regulating digital environments for young people.

In this recorded discussion, FPF Policy Counsel for Global Privacy Maria Badillo and FPF Policy Counsel for U.S. Legislation Daniel Hales, moderated by FPF Deputy Director for Global Privacy Lee Matheson, explore how Brazil and the United States are approaching children’s online privacy and safety.

The conversation highlights key policy developments, regulatory frameworks, and areas of convergence and divergence. It also considers what these evolving models mean for organizations navigating compliance and for the future of youth digital rights globally.
